Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand PlaceMakers Full time
Not your ordinary job, not your ordinary business.

Let's face it - there are several roles out there, in a market that needs you badly.

That means you get to make choices. Choices about your career. Choices about your next steps.


As a market leader and one of the biggest employers in New Zealand, we get to make choices too, particularly about who gets to join our team.

We want people who are interested in a career, not just a job.

Sure, we offer competitive pay and generous incentive plans. But more than that, we invest in our people.

A commitment to learning and development, celebrating a diverse and inclusive culture, help to make PlaceMakers a great place to work.

Full uniform, relevant job tools, generous staff discounts and a share offer are just the start. Building futures is important to us, so is sharing our success.

Right now, we have an opportunity, based at the Christchurch Hub location at Riccarton - Despatch Team Member.


The purpose of the Despatch Team Member is to select customer orders and prepare the product for the delivery or collection.

This is an important part in our chain to provide to our trade customers efficiently, accurately and on time.

We are looking for someone who can:

  • Pick orders in the correct sequence
  • Store and prepare the products adequately
  • Pick orders in a timely manner
  • Ensure that the product is securely loaded and checked
  • Competently and safely operates mobile plant as required and in line with licence requirements

Skills & Experience

  • Full Clean Class 1 Licence
  • Forklift Licence
  • Despatch experience (arranging delivery for orders)

This position is working full-time, from Monday to Friday, you'll be part of our vital front-line team - hours and days of work are flexible, as it may change.
Having good base knowledge of building products and the broader industry will be advantageous, but not essential. A great attitude and approach to service delivery is.

Maybe this is the next step in your career pathway. It could be PlaceMakers.

Please note - A pre-employment medical, including drug test is required as well as the legal right to work in NZ indefinitely.

  • We are proud of the incredible diversity of people who make up our business As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we strive to create an inclusive environment for all our employees across our national network of branches throughout New Zealand._
